Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Nightmare Unmaking, newest first.

  • The power of creatures and the number of cards in your hand are checked only as Nightmare Unmaking resolves. Players may respond to the spell knowing the chosen mode to try to save or doom a creature.
  • Because Nightmare Unmaking is on the stack while it's resolving, it won't be counted among the cards in your hand.
